So he doesn’t serve songs he saids, while in the logs there is this:
2009-01-05 19:00:59 (db3f1ccf): Serving 58 songs. Startup complete in 7 seconds
That’s already very weird. Also not one single client can see the daap share. While when trying the deamon for windows all client detect the daap share without a problem, so my network isn’t the problem.
Are there any thoughts? I’m really desperate 🙁

as you can see no howl/avahi is on it…The only extra port i’ve installed is transmission, but i don’t see why that would conflict with something else…
are there any more things i can do to check were the problem is?

There is allmost certainly nothing wrong with the Firefly installation.

There is however a bug in the em driver ( the driver used for the Intel NIC’s ) in version 7.0 of Freebsd. Which causes corruption of UDP packets ( used by Bonjour/mDNS ) if checksum offloading is enabled ( this is the default ).

Solution is to disable checksum offloading for your network interface.

To disable checksum offloading type the following command :

ifconfig em0 -rxcsum -txcsum

as root

To disable checksum offloading on the next reboot add -rxcsum -txcsum to the ifconfig_em0 line in /etc/rc.conf

I had the same problem when I updated my server form version 6.3 to 7.0.

You can also update to version 7.1 which doesn’t have this bug

It seems the em driver in FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE has the same or similar problems. My firefly-svn-1696 fails miserably due to unknown (network) reasons.
Having disabled checksum offloading things seem to work properly. See how long this lasts 8)
